46 Your older sister is Samaria, who lives with her daughters in the north. Your younger sister is Sodom, who lives with her daughters in the south.
47 You didn’t follow in their ways or engage in their detestable practices in any small way. You were far more destructive.
48 As surely as I live, says the Lord God, not even your sister Sodom and her daughters did what you and your daughters have done!
49 This is the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were proud, had plenty to eat, and enjoyed peace and prosperity; but she didn’t help the poor and the needy.
50 They became haughty and did detestable things in front of me, and I turned away from them as soon as I saw it.
51 Samaria didn’t sin even half as much as you did. You’ve so outstripped her in multiplying your detestable practices, with all the detestable things you’ve done, that you’ve even made your sisters seem innocent.
52 Bear your disgrace, which has actually improved your sisters’ position. Because your sins and detestable acts were greater than theirs, they are now more righteous than you. Be ashamed, and bear the disgrace of making your sisters righteous!
